The weather outside looks like this right now. Please note the grey skies and the bud-less tree branches.

This is unacceptable after such a long, cold winter. It’s April people. A.p.r.i.l.

I need blue skies, bright sunshine, emerald green grass, and tulips galore. The only thing protecting me from succumbing to the pre-Spring blahs at this point is a pair of hand-knit socks from my bestest buddy Eileen.

See how spring-y they are? How bright and cheery? Unless you too are the lucky recipient of hand-knit socks, you can’t comprehend how comfy and cozy they are. I highly recommend you learn to knit, just so you can ensure yourself a steady supply of hand-knit socks – and don’t cheap out on the yarn, go for the good stuff. At the very least, get yourself a knitting friend. Your emotional health may just depend on it.

PS – I highly recommend you learn to knit (or crochet), because then you can join Ravelry!
